Guild Wars crashing

[heifsin85]

Ok, my friend has a Compaq sr1510nx . This is what the fool tells me : i can play for a while maybe start a quest fight a few monsters but then trhe fan gets pretty loud and like 3 minutes later it jsut reboots.

Overheating? psu too low? What you guys think? He like just bought the comp a week ago (belive me, i told him ur wasting ur money, just build one).

To me, that definately sounds like overheating. Try opening up the side of your computer and buy some canned air, use an air compressor, or if you want lots of dust in your eyes, try blowing most of it out of the case. Most of the dust would be around the CPU heatsink so try to get that as clean of dust as possible. Also, try blowing air onto your graphics card too as that might be also causing the resets.

Thats exactly wut i thought, but would compaq really give u a comp that could easily overheat?
